ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

"Sleepy Time Hypnosis" offers a simple way to restore a healthy sleep hygiene. It provides a gentle hypnotic induction with progressive relaxation and hypnotic suggestions to achieve a comfortable state of mind in trance. A hypnotic trance is a "waking state" phenomenon, but it involves shifting one's conscious awareness toward the hypnogogic state that you naturally pass through awakening and sleeping. Hypnotic suggestions are offered to your unconscious mind for a natural and easy transition into a sleep state, changing your beliefs about your ability to sleep, and letting yourself consciously get out of the way. Relaxation and rehearsal/practice accumulate the unconscious knowledge and ability to restore normal restful sleep patterns.Dr. Steven Gurgevich is Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, Arizona. He has over 31 years of professional experience with clinical hypnosis and mind-body medicine. Dr Gurgevich and his wife, Joy, also have a private practice (Behavioral Medicine, Ltd.) in Tucson, Arizona; and an internet presence (Tranceformation Works!) at www.tranceformation.com. They have over 60 titles of audio programs in their "Healing with Hypnosis" series, Hypnotic Tonics and specialty albums available at their website.

Alexander K - Kansas City, MO Says:"This is a great product that allowed me to improve my sleeping right from the beginning of using it.

For almost a year I was sleeping only 2-3 hours a night. I tried everything: excercise, alcohol, over-the-counter sleeping pills, prescription sleeping pills (that made me groggy and unproductive next morning), Valerian root pills, Melatonin pills, etc., but all these had only very marginal and temporary effect.

The lack of sleep started really affecting my life in a negative way, both professional and personal. So, out of desperation, I decided to try this CD. Peoples sometimes are skeptical of the hypnotic therapy, dismissing the entire mind-body connection as just another "one of those new-age touchy-feely non-sense". I was skeptical myself...until I actually tried it for myself. To my surprise it really did help me. The voice of Dr. G is mesmorizing and allowed me to achieve a greater state of relaxation that translated into a nice 6-7 hour sleep for me. The cost of a CD/tape is nothing compared to the amount of energy, alertness, and a sense of well-being you'll be able to achieve through a better sleep. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who suffers from chronic sleep disorders. Best regards to Dr. G on a great product."

I want to listen to what he says on this CD. I have tried several times, but I keep falling asleep. I still haven't heard it all, but I now have a regular, normal sleep pattern. I may not know everyting that he says on the disc, but I have never felt so rested in my whole life. And I can fall asleep to that everynight. Like he says on the CD, as I lay my head on the pillow, I wonder how surprised I am in the morning to discover such a wonderful and restful sleep I have achieved. Thanks Dr. G!
PS: my wife wants you to make one for snoring.
